Starting the Premier League season on a disappointing note, Chelsea managed to start their Champions League journey strongly. They defeated ISralei side Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0 as Willian, Oscar, Diego costa and Cesc Fabregas found the net. Eden Hazard skied a penalty kick, but that won’t hurt Mourinho as the struggling Chelsea team has finally registered a win.
Chelsea got three points in the group G encounter but their biggest player Eden Hazard, who was under scrutiny for poor displays this season, will be disappointed to sky his penalty.
Oscar’s comeback has finally brought a win for the Blues and Chelsea will be looking to start performing well in the League now also.
Here are Chelsea player ratings for the game-
Asmir Begovic- 3/5
A comfortable game for the Bosnian and he did not have to do much.
Cesar Azpilicueta- 3.5/5
Did very well both in defence and attack and worked hard for the team.
Kurt Zouma- 3.5/5
Made a very good tackle to deny a goal for the visiting side and gave a calm and composed display.
Gary Cahill- 3/5
Was untroubled for the most of the game amid chants from fans for the heroics of the player despite playing with a protective mask.
Baba Rahman- 3.5/5
Gave a good display on his debut. Fans will be happy to see the new signing doing well.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek- 3/5
Did well after being preferred to Matic by the manager. Got booked for a high boot and lost possession few times but the youngster did well get a standing ovation when being subbed off.
Cesc Fabregas- 4/5
One assist and one goal were good enough for the Spaniard from coming back from poor displays back to back.
Willian- 4/5
The Brazilian was a brilliant winning penalty which was missed by Hazard and also opened the scoring.
Oscar- 3.5/5
The Brazilian star came back from an injury and did well and also converted a penalty kick.
Eden Hazard- 1.5/5
The PFA Player of the Year from the last season looks like a shadow of last season’s Hazard and also missed a penalty.
Loic Remy- 3/5
Did well starting ahead of Costa and was shifted to the right after Willian’s injury.
Substitutes-
Ramires- 3/5
Did well after coming on for Oscar.
Bertrand Traore- NA
Was introduced too late to make any impression
Diego Costa- 3.5/5
Did well after coming on winning a penalty and also scoring a good goal.
